Hello.
I'm sure the Canon 70D has been discussed here before, but with me being new around here I was hoping you guys wouldn't mind me starting a thread regarding this Canon camera...
I've had a Canon 20D from new and quite soon after its first release, but I've thought about upgrading for the past year, roughly, but having heard about many people suffering with "soft focus" issues with the 70D, I'm not sure whether to take the plunge or not. I've read quite a few things about this on a fair few different websites; some conclusions haven't helped I must say. But the general consensus seems to be that the faster the lens the more trouble you're likely to have. My fastest lens has an aperture of f3.5 and I mainly shoot fast moving aircraft, Motorsport and trains, in decent, bright (or better) light. Of course that suggests that I would probably be alright using a Canon 70D for such photography, but is there anyone out there that might be able to humour me and put my mind to rest, one way or another?
I'd love to hear from any of you that own a 70D and who could pass on their experiences with this camera and what I need to, or not need to, worry about.
I appreciate this may seem like an open-ended and slightly daft question, but I hope you see where I'm coming from. I don't want to make an £700+ mistake.
Genuinely, many thanks.
Simon
